More Than A Housewife

Things I didn’t think I could be thankful for, but I am.

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:00:06 +0000

Being thankful isn’t something that I reserve just for Thanksgiving Day. I also don’t wait until February 14 to show my husband love and adoration. I think how Jesus died on the Cross and rose again for the penalty of my sins everyday, not just during the Easter season. Same with Christmas; December 25th is [...]

Tuesday Tidbits

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:12:19 +0000

I’m starting something new here called Tuesday Tidbits. I’m going to try and do this every Tuesday. Tuesday Tidbits will just be some little piece of information that I think might be useful. It could be a cleaning tip, cooking tip, a statistic, etc. If you have any little tidbits that you’d like to share [...]

Wacky World

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:34:20 +0000

Some of the best times I have with my kiddos are the times where I get to act like a kid myself. Last week we went to a place that let me do just that, Wacky World. If you have kids and live in the Springfield, MO area, then I highly recommend this place to [...]

Happy 5th Birthday T-Bone!!

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:25:44 +0000

I can’t believe my baby turned 5 yesterday. I know parents say this all the time, but it really does feel just like yesterday that we were driving to the hospital to welcome him to the world. We spent the whole day as a family celebrating the birth of the last member of our little family tree [...]

Wax yourself with caution.

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:32:49 +0000

Quick warning, if you are one of my guy followers (unless you wax) this is probably of no interest to you so you may want to stop reading now. Go read my husband’s blog at www.barfieldmanagement.com. I’m sure he is something much more manly going on over there. On with the story. This summer I had decided for [...]

Thank You Veterans!

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:47:16 +0000

Tomorrow, November 11, is Veterans Day. Please make sure that you thank a Vet today and always be in prayer for the needs and blessings in their lives. Most have lived through more than we could probably imagine and had to do and see things that we could not comprehend. They are timeless heroes who [...]

To flu shot or not to flu shot?

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:34:40 +0000

To flu shot or not to flu shot? That seems to be the question this time of year. I am regularly seeing or hearing of people getting the flu shot for themselves and/or their kids. I have only got a flu shot one time in my life that I can recall. My kids have never had a [...]

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:59:29 +0000

Breast Cancer Awareness month is now in full swing. Everywhere you turn there’s someone showing their support for breast cancer awareness. There are jewelers selling pink ribbon pendants with a percentage of proceeds going to breast cancer research. You’ve got NFL teams wearing pink to show their support for breast cancer awareness. Several places are providing [...]

Removing recipes

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:33:44 +0000

Lately I have been taking steps to live a healthier lifestyle and to provide a healthier life for my family. As I was glancing over my recipes on here, I realized that there may be some that don’t fit into what I believe to be a good choice anymore. I have had some eye opening experiences [...]

Friends forever, right?

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 21:59:27 +0000

There are many of us that cling to friendships because we believe that a true friendship is forever. From the time we’re little we tell our friends and ourselves that we’ll be “friends forever.” Really though, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment and possibly heartache. Let’s face it, forever is hard to come by. [...]
